News

The ongoing NSC task force on Nano-TiO2 Safety Communication was featured in an article by Chemical Watch: Global Risk & Regulation News on potential future reviews of several engineered nanomaterials.

The NSC Training Group within Dissemination has successfully applied for the ‘Common Dissemination Booster’ service from the European Commission. The application was made on behalf of all projects within the NSC and thus all projects will be able to be involved directly within the training programmes of Dissemination capacity building and Dissemination campaign management

The next EU NanoSafety Cluster Scientific Meeting, organised with the kind help of the NanoFASE project, will take place in Athens, Greece in March 22-23 2018. To register for this free event please click here.

Posted by: admin

The NanoSafety Cluster is hosting a “Nanosafety Forum for Young Scientists”. The event will take place in Syracuse, Sicily on Wednesday 8th and Thursday 9th October 2014, complemented by opportunities to meet experts and senior scientists. Prior to the Forum for young scientists the NSC meeting will be held on Tuesday 7th.

“Nanosafety days for young scientists”

Nanosafety Cluster and MODENA COST action jointly organize a scientific conference focusing on presentations of young scientists working in EU-funded nanosafety projects.

The event is an open Forum for scientists in the nanosafety research field including scientific sessions with oral presentations from the young scientists and forward looking keynotes from established senior investigators. The goal is to exchange scientific information and visions and to enable young and senior scientists to learn to know each other.

The presentations will be selected by the scientific programme committee from the submitted abstracts. The number of the participants is limited to 100, on a first come, first served basis.

Registration - CLOSED

All other expenses are to be paid by the participants (via the EU projects budgets, COST action money or national projects)

NOTE: The payment (50€) should be made in advance in euros (EUR). Please, give all the billing information asked in the registration form. You will receive an invoice from FIOH for the registration fee in pursuance of the notice of acceptance. The receipt will be sent to you as soon as the fee is paid.

Abstracts

A brief abstract (max 250 words) should be sent to NSCForum@ttl.fi before 15 June 2014.

In the abstract, please, include your name and affiliation, to which session(s) your research work is connected and to which EU-project you belong (if any). You will receive a notice of acceptance after the abstracts have been evaluated (by the end of July).

Accepted abstracts will be presented in the plenary oral sessions.

Instructions for Speakers

Each presentation will be 10 minutes long. Ideally, in case you present a slideshow it should comprehend around 6 or 7 slides summarizing your main messages.
